seriously, that was the strongest one yet, and people dont even scream anymore (Before a few women on our floor would always scream, now everyone just says "hey another earthquake").
Someone said 4.0, but this link says 3.3.

I actually felt that. Figured it was the work being done across the street, but they're working on a light pole heh
I work in Addison and it felt like someone dropped a heavy piece of machinery on the roof.

I feel like I'm living in Seattle these days. But I'm sure 100 degree summer is right around the corner.

I went there very recently. It was pretty great. Me and my wife, and some friends went to the Dallas Museum of Art, the Ft. Worth zoo, and the Asian art exhibit. It was a fun day trip. We didn't partake in any of the awesome BBQ places because we were cheap and ate at Taco Cabana. There's a lot of awesome free stuff to do though. Tons of fun

Same here! I don't think you and I are meant for DFW lol.
I went to Bowl and Barrel tonight. Pretty neat place, but the beer selection sucks. I'd go again with a bigger party though.

I don't want west nile tho Besada
Some of the local stations have said that they already found some mosquitos out in Frisco that are carrying it.
Denison Dam is about to start spilling over despite the dam itself being open. Was actually waiting for this to happen, though I'm not sure what the full ramifications of this are.

I might be wrong but wasn't last summer pretty mild? We didn't hit 100+ til late June or early July, correct?

Joe Pool lake was already overflowing after last weekend's rain. The marina and park in Grand Prairie's side of Joe Pool was actually underwater already. I can't even imagine how much more underwater it is right now.

Anyone going to comicon? I'm considering going for the first time.

Downtown Dallas has received 2.5 - 3 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. Insane.
Also the tornado alarms in Downtown are way louder than the suburbs... (they started going off at 2am)

I completely slept through that
I'll be there. Been going to these things since... jeez, 2002? It's crazy how big this thing has gotten, and how many more women and kids attend nowadays.
Same. The hilarious part is according to my MS Health app, I woke up 12 times last night, which sounds about right, mostly due to the lightning making the room so bright.
Yup, and I'll be there as well.
It always leaned on the smaller side until the Avengers happened.
A-kon used to be the biggest geek con in town but this thing eclipsed it real fast. I think last year Comic Con had 50,000 people while A-kon still sits in the 20,000s range.
I'm excited, I missed it last year.
I heard the tornado alarms last night because I was feeding our 6-week old at 2am. Double checked the weather reports at that time and figured we were ok. I would have slept right through it if it weren't for my son.
This rain has just been incredible. Getting really tough to find time to mow the lawn.

What days(s) are you going? This will be my first con.
I'll be there too. Also my buddy told me that QuakeCon started making a comeback last year (and apparently this year too). Is that true? I went two years ago and there was nothing of note there with the exception of the huge ESO booth. It really seemed like if you weren't doing BYOPC, it was a waste of time.
Oh hai, I'm in Austin for work and I looked up Alamo DraftHouse because of your post. I saw that they're screening The Room tonight and Tommy Wisseau is going to be there. I've never seen the movie in its entirety, what better time then now ? Thanks.

Lake Texoma is now going over the spillway. Only the 4th time this has ever happened apparently.

I saw that. The Blanco destroyed a bridge over the river didn't it?

I could hear the alarms from around White Rock Lake last night as well. The puppy woke me up just before the alarms went off. They started blaring while we were out on a walk and stopped before I got back inside.
It's fantastic. Generally a twenty-something and up crowd. I recently went there on one of my Monday's off and while there were a few families with kids there, they did a good job of keeping them quiet. Seems like they kept the rules in mind.

A Summer Dallas-GAF meet-up would be excellent in general. We did D&B at Walnut Hill last time.

The new one off 75 directly is much nicer inside.
Maybe we could do one if we ever stop getting flash floods, tornado watches/warning and severe thunderstorms!
As always, be safe and stay far away from any bodies of water right now.
My phone kept me up all last night with flood and thunderstorm warnings. Every hour it went off.
